An amendment is a change or addition that is made to the Constitution. The Bill Of Rights is just one example of what an amendment is, considering the Bill Of Rights were not originally included in the Constitution. The reason we have amendments is that if the government wants to add something into the Constitution, they create an amendment. Then, their amendments need to be ratified. To put amendments into the Constitution, 3/4 of the state legislatures have to approve of the amendment proposed by Congress, or 3/4 of the states must approve the amendment via ratifying conventions.
